Complete Specification for the invention entitled: "SOLVENTLESS, LOW-FRICTION, ABRASION-RESISTANT COATINGS FOR ELASTOMERIC
SUBSTRATES"
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me:-
_II
-IC o_ SOLVENTLESS, LOW-FRICTION, ABRASION- SRESISTANT COATINGS FOR ELASTOMERIC SUBSTRATES FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to solvent-free coatings for elastomeric substrates, and in particular to solventless, low-friction, abrasion-resistant polyolefin coatings for the sealing surfaces of thermosetting elastomeric substrates such as a glass run channel in an automotive application.
BACKGROUND
0o 0 6 00 :deo Various elastomers such as ethylene-propylene- S diene terpolymer (EPDM) and styrene-butadienF copolymer have been utilized for many years in applications Sorequiring a sealing contact between the elastomer and another object, such as in glass run channels which are positioned in the window frames of automobila doors to provide a seal between the window frame and the glass.
o The elastomer utilized in glass run channel applications generally is flexible to provide a good seal of the elastomer against the window glass without the application of excessive force, and must also display good weatherability properties. However, most suitable flexible elastomers typically lack the lowfriction, abrasion or wear-resistant properties neces- 30 sary for ease of trAel of window glass within the glass run channel and long life of the glass run channel itself, respectively.
Therefore, low-friction, wear-resistant coatings for cglass run channel have been developed which are applied to the elastomeric substrate usually as solvent-based sprays, or which are applied to the substrate after surface treatment of the substrate with a primer, adhesive, or fie like. However, environif 4' 2 0, oo 0 0 0 0 o e 0 04 o a 0 08 6 0 *080 00 0* 0 0 688« 8o 4 0 O oo 0 1 0 0 0 08 6'* t11 mental'concerns directed to the toxicity and volatility of such solvent-containing materials, and EPA limits on organic solvent emissions, have created the incentive for the manufacture of glass run channel having a solventless or high solid, low-friction, abrasionresistant coating.
Moreover, it has heretofore been difficult to obtain the necessary strong adhesion between such lowfriction wear-resistant coatings and the substrate material such as EPDM. For example, EPDM has a low surface energy so wetting is difficult. In addition, EPDM has a low concentration of reactive groups, that is, it contains few carbon-carbon double bonds which makes chemically bonding thereto difficult. Methods 15 which have been used to improve adhesion to EPDM include surface treatments such as flame, ozone, and chlorination. Such surface treatments typically raise the surface energy of the EPDM to levels closer lo that of common coatings resulting in improved adhesion. However, such surface treatments are costly and complicate the manufacturing process for applications such as glass run channel. Another method used to improve adhesion has been the application of the aforementioned primer layers. Such layers provide intermediate surfacc energy 25 between the substrate andc coating for relatively good adhesion to each. However, this method also increases cost and normally requires the use of additional solvent, which is undesirable, as discussed above.
As mentioned above, low friction and abrasion resistance also are requirements for glass run channel coating materials. The base polymer in such coatings contributes much of the low-friction and abrasionresistant properties. Thus, low-friction rubbers such as polyurethanes are generally regarded as good base polymers for coatings. However, in most cases, polyurethanes must be applied to an EPDM elastomer which has 3 00 0 0 000 00 0 o -'a o 00 0 000000 a 0 00 0 0 0 0000 000 a 000*00 0 V 0000 0 00 90 0 0000 0000 0000 o a 00 0 0000 0 been. either surface treated or primer coated to achieve good adhesion therebe%:ween.
In addition, many prior coatings contain additives to lower friction and increase abrasion-resistance. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE or Teflon®) particulates and silicone fluids are conventional additives for friction reduction and may also be useful for improving abrasion-resistance. Although useful in selected coatings, in many cases it is preferable to avoid using such PTFE and silicone additives. More specifically, in certain instances, PTFE particles tend to agglomerate thus reducing their effectiveness, and silicone fluids often are too incompatible with coating materials and phase separate. In addition, silicone 15 fluids sometimes cause poor adhesion between the coating and the substrate. Moreover, silicone fluids in solvent-based formulations may by contact or by dispersion of fine particles in the atmosphere contaminate other unrelated areas of a manufacturing plant and adversely affect adhesion in certain products.
U.S. Patent No. 3,904,470 to Fukuki et al relates to a method for bonding rubber to plastics by contacting a vulcanized shaped structure of an ethylene/ propylene copolymer rubber on an ethylene/piropylene/di- 25 olefin copolymer rubber with a polyolefin plastic at a temperature above the softening point of said polyolefin plastic, said vulcanized shaped structure consisting of a blend of 60 to 97 percent by weight of an ethylene/propylene copolymer rubber having an ethylene content of 40 to 85 mole percent or an ethylene/propylene/diolefin copolymer rubber having an ethylene content of 40 to 85 mole percent and 0 to 100 percent, based on the weight of the copolymer rubber, of a rubber component other than the above copolymer rubbers and a butyl rubber, and (ii) 3 to 40 percent by weight of specific crystalline polyethylene or polypropylene plastic.
:4 i-4- 00 0 00a 0 00 O O aO o po 0or 0 00 U.S. Patent No. 3,962,018 to Costemalle et al relates to a multilayer composition prepared by a process comprising applying an intimately mixed blend of a thermoplastic polyolefin and an elastomer to the surface of an elastomer and bonding said blend to said surface by heating and application of pressure. Thus a film of the intimately mixed blend may be applied to the surface of the elastomer. Also, a motor-car door seal can be produced by extruding to the desired profile the intimately mixed blend of thermoplastic polyolefin and elastomer so as to form the base foot and bonding the elastomer seal to the extruded section.
U.S. Patent No. 4,076,891 to Yardley et al relates to a method of producing a molded plastic- 15 rubber composite comprising injection or transfer molding a substantially linear crystalline low pressure solution olefin polymer so that it is brought, in a molten state, into contact with a prevulcanized rubber component containing up to 70 percent by volume of a rubbery olefin polymer. The plastic-rubber composite produced by this method may be used in applications in which hitherto rubber-metal composites have! been used, for example valve diaphragms, tire valve bodies, shock absorbers, engine mountings, vibration dampers, compression springs, torsion bushes, flexible drive couplings, etc.
U.S. Patent No. 4,090,906 to Zoller relates to a method of making a trim strip comprising the extrusion of a vinyl material to form a body which is so shaped that it can be confined in a peripheral slot in a roll, thereby to permit substantial pressure to be applied on the extruded body and a decorative strip by a mating roll. The top portion of the extruded body has side extensions which are supported by the edges of the recessed roll; thus, substantial pressure can be applied on the entire top of the decorative surface strip and the body to produce an adhesive bond or a bond by heat to 9 .o" 00 1 o 0a a 0 00 1,
*L
5 sealing. After the body is cooled, it is advanced through a number of aligned milling cutters to machine aligned recesses in the sides of the body to produce a retention cutout. After being machined to depth, the trim strip is advanced through a pair of grinding wheels to accurately form and space the recesses. During the extruding operation, a coated wire may be embedded within the body in the conventional manner.
U.S. Patent No. 4,169,180 to McDonagh relates to a laminate which is useful as a construction material. It comprises: a base layer of a synthetic resin having inferior weather-proof characteristics; and D° o a protective layer of a crosslinked acrylate and/or ao methacrylate/crosslinked styrene-acrylonitrile/uncrosslinked styrene-acrylonitrile polymer composition at- 0 0Q 0 o tached to the base layer. The laminate can be used as a material for siding, gutter systems, downspouts, soffit and fascia systems, shutters, window casings and the like.
U.S. Patent No. 4,184,000 to Denman relates to a coupling element comprising elongated thermoplastic 9«o. strip material structured to provide that, on applica- 4 4 tion thereto of heat in the range from about 300 0 F to about 500 0 F the outer portion thereof becomes fluidly adhesive, and is particularly adapted thereby to quickly form a ready bond and a clean seal between different materials, especially between glass and metal parts.
While under the application of heat in the range specio o fied, the outer portion of the element becomes fluidly Sa 30 adhesive, the inner or core portion of the element V retains, as originally provided, an essentially stable form which accommodates and conforms to the contour of an applied load. On self cooling in place the strip coupling device provides a bond and seal between parts of unlike materials. In preferred embodiments and applications the invention provides for an installation of a window, windshield or like unit. Elements of the -'6 invention are reversible. Once an element is in place and serving as a bond, if subjected to heat in the prescribed temperature range of 300°F to 500 0 F, the outer portion of the element becomes fluid while the stability of the core thereof is maintained. This enables that the element may be removed from between the parts for which it formerly served as a bond.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Conventional automotive glass run channels heretofore have included a weather-resistant elastomeric 11 substrate having a low-friction, wear-resistant coating applied to the glass sealing surfaces thereof through the use of solvents in one form or another. However, solvent-based coatings have fallen into disfavor due to various factors such as EPA regulations limiting the emissions of organic solvents from manufacturing plants.
In response to these factors, the present invention is directed to a solventless, low-friction, abrasionresistant coating for glass run channel elastomeric substrates.
FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a glass run e°o channel having the coating of the present invention o applied thereto, indicated generally at 1. Glass run o ochannel 1 is an integrally formed one-piece member and o 15 includes a channel member or substrate 2 having a base 2a, sidewalls 2b and 2c, and a pair of similar, inwardly 0extending opposed lips 3a and 3b which extend generally horizontally across a channel 4 defined by base 2a and sidewalls 2b, and 2c. Substrate 2 is formed of any commercially available flexible elastomer of the type which are well known to the art and to the literature, o o .0o and which provide good sealing against a glass window surface without the application of excessive pressure against the glass surface. The flexible elastomer of which substrate 2 is formed must also display good weatherability properties. The flexible elastomer- ,o formed substrate 2 may also be highly extendible with conventional additives such as carbon black and the like *0 0 o Oto maintain a reasonable price of the substrate.
Desirable elastomers of which substrate 2 can be formed generally include curable or thermosetting elastomers.
More particularly, desirable elastomers include butadiene-based rubbers of styrene-butadiene rubber and nitrile rubber or acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, and natural rubber or synthetic isoprene rubber. A preferred elastomer is ethylene-propylene terpolymer, also common- i ly referred to as EPDM.
i -b 12 With respect to styrene-butadiene rubber, which is by far the most widely used type of synthetic rubber, any of the commercially available, conventional styrene-butadiene rubbers containing less than about percent of styrene monomer based upon the total weight of the rubber forming monomers therein can be utilized in forming substrate 2.
Useful nitrile rubbers include conventional nitrile rubbers which are known to the art and to the literature, that is, rubbers generally made from one or more monomers of acrylonitrile or an alkyl derivative thereof with one or more conjugated dienes and optionala g ly one or more monomers of acrylic acid, or an ester thereof, or a dicarboxylic acid. Examples of acrylonit- 0 15 rile monomers or alkyl derivatives thereof include 0 «0 9oo* acrylonitrile and alkyl derivatives thereof having from ,0o 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as methacrylonitrile, and the like. The amount of the acrylonitrile or alkyl derivative monomers is from about 0 percent to about percent by weight, desirably from about 0 to about *.aosq percent by weight, and preferably from about 0 to about 30 percent by weight based upon the total weight of the nitrile rubber forming monomers. That is, although an 0; 4 acrylonitrile monomer or derivative thereof is generally 0000 utilized, it need not always be utilized as known to those skilled in the art. The conjugated diene monomers DIP* generally have from 4 to 10 carbon atoms with 4 to 6 a r-arbon atoms being preferred. Examples of specific 6 conjugated diene monomers include isoprene, hexadiene, and the like, with butadiene being most preferred. The amount of such conjugated dienes is generally from about percent to about 100 percent; desirably from about percent to about 100 percent; and preferably from about percent to about 100 percent by weight based upon the total weight of the nitrile rubber forming monomers.
Such nitrile rubbers can also contain optional comonomers as known to those skilled in the art as well as 13 to the literature. Such optional comonomers generally include acrylic acid or various esters thereof, dicarboxylic acids, or combinations thereof. The acrylic acid or the esters thereof can generally be represented by the formula

2 C C OR Where R 1 is hydrogen oi an alkyl having from S 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and wherein R 2 is hydrogen, or (a) «°4o a nitrile-containing ester wherein the ester portion contains a total of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a o 15 hydroxyl-containing ester wherein the ester portion ~contains a total of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an Sunsaturated epoxy-containing monomer which contains a total of from 3 to 12 carbon atoms, or or combinations thereof. When R 2 is hydrogen, examples of suitable acids include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and 0 the like. When R 2 is a nitrile containing ester, a.*4 examples of suitable optional monomers include cyanoethyl acrylate, cyanoethyl methacrylate, cyanobutyl ether Sacrylates, and the like. Examples of suitable hydroxyl containing esters include hydroxy ethyl methacrylate, hydroxy propyl methacrylate, hydroxy ethyl acrylate, and S"the like. Examples of suitable epoxy containing monom- .a ers include glycidyl methacrylate, glycidyl acrylate, 0 0 4 allyl glycidyl ether, and the like. The dicarboxylic acids generally contain from 3 to about 10 carbon atoms and specific examples include maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, and the like.
When utilized, the amount of the above-noted optional monomers is generally from about 0.1 to about 25 percent by weight and preferably from about 4 to about 12 percent by weight based upon the total weight of the nitrile rubber forming monomers. As noted
S
14 hereinabove, although generally utilized, an acrylonitrile monomer or an alkyl derivative thereof need not always be utilized in association with the conjugated diene monomers. In such an event, one or more of the above-noted optional monomers are utilized.
With respect to the most preferred elastomeric substrate, that is, EPDM rubber, any suitable, commercially available conventional EPDM rubber, as are well known to the art and to the literature, can be utilized in the present invention. Most commercially available EPDM rubbers hav; an ethylene unit content of from about SL 25 percent by weight to about 80 percent by weight based upon the total weight of the ethylene units and the propylene units. The diene is a non-conjugated monomer S15 having from about 5 to about 10 carbon atoms. Specific o e onon-conjugated dienes include pentadiene, dicyclopentadiene (DCP), hexadiene, norbornene, methyl norbornene, ethylidene norbornene, heptadiene, and the like.
An example of a particularly well-suited diene is ethylidene norbornene. It is understood that the preferred EPDM rubber can be cured by any suitable

O Q'onventional curing agent such as are well known to the art and to the literature, with a desirable curing agent being peroxide and a preferable curing agent being sulfur. Inasmuch as it is desirable that the EPDM rubbers have high amounts of unsaturation therein especially when a sulfur curing agent is utilized as is S* well known to those skilled in the art, the amount of a 6 4 o the diene monomer repeating unit is generally from about 1 to about 15 percent by weight of the terpolymer system with from about 6 to about 12 percent being desired and from about 8 to about 11 percent being preferred. Of course, the selected EPDM rubber must be flexible in order to achieve good sealing against the window glass without the application of excessive force against the glass.

By substantially melted, it is meant that the polyolefin used to form coating 5 is formable or thixotropic, so that polyolefin coating 5 will flow under shear applied by suitable processing equipment. Subsequent cooling to room temperature results in an unexpectedly excellent adhesive bond between polyolefin coating 5 and elastomeric substrate 2 without the use of solvents. The base polyolefin utilized in coating 5 preferably has a low melt index or high molecular weight to prevent running or pooling of the substantially melted coating during application to the uncured substrate. It is, of course, understood that coating 5 itself also has thixotropic low flow characteristics as discussed above, so that such running and pooling thereof is avoided, and the low melt index or high molecular weight of the base 25 polyolefin utilized in coating 5 results in a coating having such low flow characteristics. By substantially melted it is meant that from about 50 percent to about 100 percent of coating 5 is in a melt phase, desirably between about 75 percent and 100 percent is in a melt phase, preferably from about 95 percent to about 100 percent is in a melt phase, and most preferably 100 percent or all of the coating 5 is rmlted. Coating most preferably is completely melted for ease of processing, that is, to enable coating 5 to pass easily through an extruder as compared to a substantially unmelted coating which would be "lumpy" and have difficulty in passing through an extruder.

Other desirable properties of the polyolefin coating include weatherability against sun, water, ozone, oxygen, fungus, etc., and a uniform surface having a specified smoothness and gloss level. Preferred polyolefins for use in the present invention include polypropylene, polyethylene, and ethylene-propylene copolymer wherein the percent of ethylene by weight of the ethylene and propylene monomers if the copolymer is non-block or random is from about 0 to about 20 percent or from about 80 percent to 15 about 100 percent; desirably from about 0 percent to about 10 percent or from about 90 percent to about 100 percent; and preferably from about 0 percent to about percent or from about 95 percent to about 100 percent.
If the ethylene-propylene copolymer is a block copolymer, the percent of ethylene by weight of the ethylene and propylene monomers is from about 0 percent to about percent or from about 70 percent to about 100 percent; and preferably from about 5 percent to about 25 percent or from about 75 percent to about 95 percent. If polyethylene is selected for coating 5, the selected polymers should have a density of at least 0.91 gms./cc, desirably at least 0.94, and preferably at least 0.96.
Moreover, if polyethylene is selected it should have a melt index of from about 0.1 to about 10; desirably from about 0.2 to about 5; and preferably from about 0.2 to about 1. Likewise, if polypropylene is the selected polyolefin coating 5, it should have a density of from about 0.89 to about 0.92; and preferably from about 0.91 to about 0.92. Also, polypropylene, if selected, should have a melt index of from about 0.1 to about 10; desirably from about 0.2 to about 5; and preferably from about 0.2 to about 1. If an ethylene-propylene block or r 1 i ~e 17 random copolymer is the coating 5 of choice, it has a density of greater than about 0.9, desirably greater than about 0.91, and preferably greater than about 0.93, and further each have a melt index of from about 0.1 to about 10, desirably from about 0.2 to about 5, and preferably from about 0.2 to about In accordance with another feature of the present invention, optional additives can be utilized to improve the various desired properties of polyolefin coating 5. One class of additives are various softening agents which can be blended with the polyolefin base polymer of coating 5 when it is necessary to retain Sflexibility in substrate 2, such as on lips 3a and 3b as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 to allow glass 6 to be introduced So* 15 into channel 4 without encountering excessive resistance. However, it is understood that such softening agents are optional and not necessary in certain applications, such as when coating 5 is applied to base 2a of substrate 2 (FIGS. 1 and Desirable soi,.ners include any commercially available polyolefin-based o thermoplastic elastomers which are well known to the art and to the literature. Such desirable softening agents contain cured, non-melt elastomers such as cured EPDM in an amount of up to about 50 percent by weight of the softening agent and polyolefin compound, and preferably from about 25 percent to about 35 percent by weight.
o The incorporated EPDM preferably is cured so that the ,o low-friction and abrasion-resistant properties of the polyolefin-based coating are not adversely affected.
Santoprene®, a lightly crosslinked blend of polypropylene and EPDM, is a preferred softening agent, especially when the polyolefin base polymer is polypropylene, to provide a suitably flexible surface coating 5 so that lips 3a and 3b of substrate 2 retain their flexibility for sealing against window glass 6 without excessive force when the glass is introduced into channel 4, as shown in FIG. 2. More particularly, i

I I r -rran 18 a ,i a ao Sa c a O o a a a a os a 0044 a. a o a o 0 0* Santoprene is a dynamic vulcanizate of EPDM and polypropylene. Small dispersed EPDM rubber particles in the crosslinked blend result in softness of the coating with little reduction in the low-friction or abrasionresistant properties of the coating. The degree of softening can be adjusted by changing the amount of EPDM in the dynamic vulcanizate. A preferred softening agent, especially when the polyolefin base polymer is polyethylene is a lightly crosslinked blend of polyethylene and EPDM. Santoprene® or the polyethylene/EPDM blend is blended with the polyolefin coating 5 in an amount of up to about 80 percent by weight of the Santoprene® or polyethylene/EPDM blend and polyolefin coating; desirably from about 30 percent to about 70 percent; and 15 preferably from about 40 percent to about 60 percent.
Another class of additives are compounds which improve the abrasion-resistance of the polyolefin coating such as inert microspherical glass beads and the like. The addition of microspherical glass beads to the polyolefin coating results in further improvements in abrasion-resistance against a glass window without sacrificing other properties of the polyolefin coating.
More particularly, microscopic examination of abraded surfaces containing glass beads reveals abrasion on the 25 glass beads themselves. Thus, the abrasive load is borne by the glass beads rather than the polymeric components of the coating. The glass beads are used in an amount of from about 0 percent to about 40 percent based on the weight of the glass beads and the polyolefin coating; desirably from about 5 percent to about percent; and preferably from about 10 percent to about percent. Less preferably, non-fluxing crystalline fillers such as thermoplastic nylon or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in particulate form can be added to the polyolefin coating to improve abrasionresistance. If thermoplastic nylon is selected, it is utilized in an amount of from about 0 percent to about
A
19 percent; desirably from about 2.5 percent to about percent; and preferably from about 5 percent to about percent; and if ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is selected, it is used in an amount from about 0 percent to about 25 percent; desirably from about percent to about 10 percent; and preferably from about percent to about 10 percent based on the weight of the nylon or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particulate filler and the polyolefin compound.
Still another class of optional additives are ec various lubricants which lower the friction and thereby increase the abrasion-resistance of the polyolefin 0 o9 o ocoating. This class includes high-melting thermoplastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene, i.e. TeflonO, and the like, and oils such as silidone oil, for example, or Sother liquid lubricants as heretofore used in prior elastomer substrate coating materials. However, it is to be understood that such lubricants may not be necessary inasmuch as coating 5 of the present invention ,0 y 20 display low-friction and high abrasion-resistant 0c properties without the addition of such lubricants.
SIn addition, various conventional compounding o. agents which are well known to the art and to the 09o literature can be utilized in conventional amounts such as various processing aids, stabilizers, fillers, extnnders, and the like. Processing aids, which are S* helpful in avoiding rough extrusion of coating 5 and in o. inhibiting shrinkage of the coating during cure of the substrate, include polyolefins having a different molecular weight than the base polyolefin of coating hydrocarbon waxes, etc. Various stabilizers can be utilized to protect the polyolefin coating against ultraviolet radiation, ozone, oxygen, and the like.
Typical stabilizers utilized for UV protection include carbon black and sterically-hindered amine light stabilizers such as Tinuvin 328 which is manufactured by Ciba-Geigy. Ozone protectants include amino phenols 3to hV utlizd fc prtectthepololefn catin agins F 20 such. as Suconox-4, -12, and -18, manufactured by Miles Chemical. Oxygen protectants include amino phenols such as Ethanox 703 manufactured by Ethyl.
Various fillers or extenders include carbon black and flatting or leveling agents which improve the appearance of coating 5 such as clay, silica, etc.
The first embodiment 1 of the present invention is prepared in the following manner. Elastomer substrate and coating 5 are coextruded in any suitable extrusion apparatus in a conventional manner as is well O, known to the art and to the literature. Elastomeric So substrate 2 generally is extruded at a temperature of o from about 60 0 C to about 150°C. Coextruding coating Sis brought into contact with the extruding uncured o .e 15 elastomeric substrate by passing the coating through a die adjacent to the area of the extruding apparatus where the elastomer substrate exits. More particularly, coating 5 must be brought to and maintained at a certain processing temperature which generally is from about oee0 20 10 0 C to about 50 0 C; desirably from about OOC to about o o DP 50OC; preferably from about 0 0 C to about 40 0 C; and most preferably from about 15 0 C to about 30 0 C above the melt temperature of the particular base polymer of which the 800 coating is formed. The processing temperature must be maintained until the coating and elastomer substrate oeOQ exit the die. In order to pass the low melt index or high molecular weight, substantially melted coating 0 0 o 0 through the die, some pressure must be maintained on the coating to obtain optimum flow through the die. If coating 5 is polypropylene-based, this processing temperature generally is greater than about 200 0 C. If coating 5 is polyethylene-based, the processing temperature is from about 160 0 C to about 170 0 C. If coating 5 is a block copolyme5i of polyethylene and polypropylene, the processing temperature is greater than about 2000C. If coating 5 is based on a random polyethylene-polypropylene copolymer which is polypropylene rich, the process- T Z~ I i i (r -21 ing .temperature is generally about 190°C, and if the random polyethylene-polypropylene copolymer is polyethylene rich, the processing temperature is from about 160 0 C to about 170 0 C. After the polyolefin coating 5 is brought in contact with uncured elastomeric substrate 2, glass run channel 1 is passed through a curing oven in a manner well known to those. skilled in the art. After passage through the curing oven, glass run channel 1 then is allowed to cool to the final product. It is important to note that the processing temperature of polyolefin coating 5 must be high enough within the o oabove-discussed ranges to allow proper processing thereof, but cannot be too highL or the elastomeric substrate could scorch and degrade. Glass run channel 15 1 desirably includes coating 5 having a thickness of 0 from about 0.2 to about 0.4mm, and preferably from about a 000 0 0.2 to about 0.3mn.
A second embodiment of a glass run channel having the coating of the present invention applied thereto is indicated generally at 10 and is shown in :o FIGS. 4 through 6. Glass run channel 10 is similar to Sglass run channel 1 described above in most respects o o including its general composition and method of manufacture, which is hereby fully incorporated by reference, 25 except that glass run channel 10 is larger and has a different configuration. Glass run channel 10 is an integrally formed one-piece member and includes a Soo channel member or substrate 20 which is shown mounted in 0 0 a window frame 11 of an automobile door in FIG. 5, which also shows window glass 12 just prior to introduction into a channel 13 defined by substrate 20. Substrate includes a pair of similar, inwardly extending opposed lips 14 and 15 which extend generally horizontally across channel 13, and FIG. 6 shows glass 12 introduced into channel 13 and sealed against lips 14 and thereof, which have a polyolefin coating 16 of the invention applied thereto.

Such a large increase in hardness is undesirable for good flexibility and sealing to glass in glass run channel applications. As further shown in the Table, the polyethylene and polypropylene used in Samples 1 to 4 contained 14 percent PTFE particulates and 2.3 percent silicone oil. These optional ingredients were added to the polymers by the supplier thereof. Samples 3 and 4 S"demonstrate the use of a softening aid, in this case OQ o o o' Santoprene, to reduce the laminate hardness from a Shore A of 87 for the polypropylene coating in -Mple 2, to 76 o 15 in Sample 4. In addition, the improvement for poly- 0o propylene over polyethylene in Crockmeter abrasion resistance can be seen by comparison of Samples 1 and 2 of Table I. Polyethylene also displayed a lower friction than did polypropylene as illustrated by Samples 1 and 2 of Table I.

High levels of additives such as molybdenum disulfide e- utilized in Sample 6 offered no improvement in friction coefficient or abrasion resistance as compared to Sample 5 which lacked such an additive. The greatest improvement in abrasion index was achieved with the addition of microspherical glass beads as illustrated by comparing Sample 5 with Sample 7 which had an abrasion index greater than 626 cycles per micrometer as compared to 211 cycles for Sample 5. The glass beads used were microspherical glass beads manufactured by Potters 15 Industries. The particle size was 44 micrometers and less. The glass beads had a coating recommended for use with polypropylene. Larger as well as smaller particles also are believed to give good results. However, larger particles would be undesirable if they caused difficultes6 20 ies in coating processes suw as coextrusion or if they yielded anr objectionally rtugh surface. For glass so loadings greater than 15 phr in the polypropylene based O..t coatings, objectionable noise resulted on the Crockmeter test. Levels of 10 phr and less gave no such problem. Samples 8 and 9 of Table II above are inclu- ~ded as comparative examples of coatings prepared only with a commercial material, that is Santoprene 103-50.
eThe Santoprene 103-50 merely is a harder grade of Santoprene than Santoprene 101-55. The hardness of Santoprene 103-50 is near that of the coatings of the present invention. The use of Santoprene 103-50 alone as illustrated in Sample 8 resulted in poor abrasion resistance. The addition of microspherical glass beads as in Sample 9 resulted in poorer abrasion and higher friction than in Sample 12 of Table III which is a Santoprene/ptlypropylene blend. As shown in Table III :y
'A
i I: i, -28- .9 @0 0 0 00 0 0 for .50/50 blends of polypropylene/Sanoprene, the best composition for high abrasion resistance and low friction was achieved in Sample 12. The polypropylene used in this sample included 25 phr of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particulates. Lower levels of PTFE had little effect on abrasion resistance. Silicone oil addition did lower friction but also lowered abrasion resistance as shown by comparing Samples 11 and 13. The film material in Sample 11 was also successfully co-extruded as a smooth thin film onto an EPDM substrate. Subsequent curing in a circulating air oven gave a film with a smooth surface. The material of Sample 11 is compatible with EPDM processing conditions.
Thus, Samples 2 through 14 of Tables I III above, demonstrate the class of materials o' the present invention which contain polypropylene and therefore require processing temperatures exceeding about 2000C.
The following examples demonstrate another class of materials based on polyethylene which process at temperaturas 30 0 C or more lower than for polypropylene-based materials. Both classes of coatings yield excellent adhesion with cohesive substrate failure without requiring surface treatments or primer layers containing undesirable solvents.

The samples each contained microspherical glass beads, a small amount of carbon black for ultraviolet protection, and were free of softening agents.
Density is a convenient way to describe the degree of crystallinity of polyethylene, and melt index is a measure of how many grams of polymer will flow through a prescribed die at a specified load and temperature.
10 A high melt index indicates a low molecular weight and 04 S.n. vice versa. Samples 15 through 19 demonstrate the o"o o increase in abrasion resistance and reduction in friction for comparable density materials with decreasing 8 0 o *o melt index. Higher density materials as in Samples 15 through 17 have higher abrasion resistance and lower *9 s, friction than lower density materials as in Samples 18 and 19. Sample 20 is a commercial polyethylene ionomer, Surlyn 9520, advertised by its manufacturer as having high abrasion resistance. However, this material has 0* 20 higher friction with adhesion failure upon tearing when compared with Samples 15 through 17 which gave cohesive pa o failure of the substrate upon tearing.
~EXAMPLE 4 Samples 21 through 27 in Tables V and VI below were prepared as follows: A 2B Banbury mixer was heated to 90 0 C and operat- *o 4 ed at a rotor speed of 116 rpm. The non-curative ingredients then were added, and the curatives were added when the temperature reached 160 0 C. The samples were mixed until three minutes after the wattmeter leveled out, then dropped, cooled, and mixed two additional minutes in the Banbury. Preparation of the laminate was then carried out in the same manner as for Samples 3 and 4 discussed above in Table I. Samples 28 and 29 were prepared in the same manner as Samples 3 and 4, and ii S -31- Sample 30 was prepared in the same manner as Samples1 and 2.

These materials were dynamically vulcanized with sulfur curatives for EPDM to give cured EPDM rubber particles in the polyethylene continuous phase which softened the polyethylene.
Various levels of glass beads were used for improved abrasion. Various levels of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene were also used for improved processing. As an alternative approach, coatings were made from EPDM plus curatives and polyethylene powders and were applied without melting the polyethylene and subo o sequently cured. The intent was to process the polyolefin powder as solid reinforcement. The resulting coatings had poor surface appearance and abrasion o d resistance. The high levels of glass beads in como bination with high levels of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene as shown in Samples 22 and 26 resulted in excellent abrasion resistance. Without either glass beads or ultra-high molecular weight o s* polyethylene, abrasion resistance is only marginal as shown in Sample 21. Excellent abrasion results with low friction were obtained for Samples 22 and 26. The Shigh level of glass beads used in Sample 26 resulted in no noise problem as observed for polypropylenebased materials as discussed above in Sample 7 of 4 Table II discussed above.
o 4 Samples 27 through 29 as set forth in Table VI o above demonstrate the unexpectedly excellent adhesion when uncured EPDM, natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber were laminated with the polyolefin coatings of the present invention and subsequently cured rather than applied to the precured rubber. The results in Table VI for Sample 29 also demonstrate the poor adhesion of coatings of the present invention to polyurethane rubber, high acrylonitrile content nitrile rubber, and silicone rubber, 4'.
-36which have very different solubility parameters than the coating materials. This demonstrates the requirement that the solubility parameters of the substrate must be close to that of the coating for good adhesion if no chemical bonding enhancers or primers are used.
In addition, the results show that the presence of a common co-unit in the coatings and. certain of the substrates encourages compatibility and results in good adhesion. Table VI further demonstrates the use of Dytron 7100, a commercially available dynamic vulcanizate of polyethylene with cured particles of EPDM.
Sample 28 containing Dytron plus optional microspherical glass beads and carbon black shows improved abra- 'oe sion resistance and low friction when compared with 15 Sample 30 containing Dytron alone which demonstrates only marginal abrasion resistance and reduced friction. Preferred samples of the current invention are .ooo.' Samples 22 to 29 due to their good adhesion, abrasion resistance and friction, and also because they contain additives such as carbon black or carbon black and the UV protection aid (Tinuvin 328) for good weatherability.
*.ooo. Thus, it can be seen that a glass run channel .oo. having the solventless, polyolefin coating of the present invention applied thereto possesses good sealing properties, yet is abrasion-resistant and low friction to provide long life to the channel and ease of crarking for a vehicle window. The use of various o.o. polyolefins in the process of production for the glass run uhannel of the present invention allows for a 0 range of melting points, such that the higher melt Stemperature of polypropylene may be desirable when applying to substrates destined for high temperature end use applications, and the lower melting temperature of polyethylene may be desirable during processing of certain substrates to avoid scorch of the selected elastomeric substrate. Moreover, coexiII t polyolefi coating as in the present invention is more efficient and economical.
